They come from the buses. They move through the school like shadows, invisible to all but the most trained eyes. They are everywhere, and nowhere. Who are these fiends, these destroyers of civilization, these harbingers of chaos and anarchy? They are the worst scum known to Clark Magnet High: dress code violators. Too often do we see students roaming the halls with jeans or a T-shirt, thinking they’re above the system. Who ever said you have the right to wear what clothes you want? What do you people think this is, a free country? Woe is us, should we ever find ourselves scared and alone without the dress code we take for granted. In fact, some might say it’s the only thing separating us from the animals. If you want to succeed in this world, there are a few things you must do. Be sure to do lots of community service (forge hours if you don’t quite hit 100), take as many AP classes as you can without being sent to a psychiatric hospital and, most importantly, wear a solid-colored collared shirt and khaki pants! As most of you know, there have been a few isolated incidents of drug possession here at Clark over the years. Some might argue that these incidents aren’t isolated at all, and the students who were punished are simply the only ones who have been caught. We would have to disagree with that. If so many people are being punished for not following the dress code, surely the school is absolutely on top of issues like drugs. So be thankful for the dress code! It’s a way to show your school spirit, to show that you’re not a rule-breaker. Mark these words, none of us who follow the code will ever be caught dead breaking even the minutest rule or regulation, especially since the office will be too busy with those caught wearing jeans and a t-shirt.
